Route 6

Route 6 is a desert route that connects Brimber City to Mt. Igneus. Immediately after entering this route from Brimber City, a fork splits the route into 2 paths, with the right path leading to a dead end with many dirt piles and some strangely placed rocks. Only the left path will lead the player to Mt. Igneus.

Durant Nests
The dirt piles found on this route are actually Durant nests. Bring along a Pokémon with Dig to clear the pile, and Durant may pop out to fight the player. By the point player first reaches this route, TM Dig is not available, but Hippopotas on Route 5 can learn Dig by levelling up.

Dirt Piles
Requires Dig.

Trainers
Note: Trainers marked with a star symbol (*) can be rematched.

Trivia

 * Heatmor, which is a natural predator of Durant, lives in Mt. Igneus while Durant is on Route 6. These areas are close to each other.
 * It is suspected that the strangely placed rocks have something to do with Legendary Pokémon encounters in the future.
